Is Your Car's Airbag Even Working? Don’t Drive Blind! Here's How To Check It Yourself In Seconds

It’s as simple as it could be. You just need to observe the instrument cluster when starting the vehicle. During startup, the car’s computer performs a self-check on all major systems, including the airbags.

As you start the vehicle, you should have eyes on a light displaying a symbol of a person and the words "SRS" or "airbag" on the instrument cluster. 

If the system is functioning correctly, this light will turn off in a few seconds after the check. It is called an airbag warning light. 

However, if the airbag warning light remains lit while driving, it indicates an issue with the airbag system that needs to be addressed immediately.

In that case, take the vehicle to a service center and have the airbag system repaired.
